Abstract:

The Mid-Continent Ecology Division (MED) at Duluth, Minnesota, with its field location in Grosse Ile, Michigan, is responsible for providing the scientific information on ecotoxicological and freshwater ecological effects necessary to reduce the uncertainty in risk assessments and support risk management option selections. The Division accomplishes this mission by conducting research to increase understanding and predictive capability for mechanisms of toxicity to aquatic life and wildlife; toxicokinetics and delivered dose of chemicals; dose-response relationships for stressors on aquatic and wildlife populations, communities and ecosystems; and effects of watershed structure and function on aquatic resources. The Division supports EPA’s community-based approach to ecosystem protection by coordinating ORD’s ecological effects research to address critical scientific issues facing the Great Lakes and the Great Plains areas of the nation.
